I hate the Spurs so damn much.
the Spurs are like freaking cockroaches.
Also, someone needs to mute the screaming lady.

Awesome job by the bulls. Might get interesting if they can win game 2.

Even if we can't pull out game 2, we took home court and should have Deng and Hinrich back for game 3 in Chicago. I also have a sneaky suspicion if the the Heat win in a close one on Wednesday, we will see Rose in game 3. This just became a series.
I'm looking forward to see Rose back in the lineup, but at this point I honestly wonder if he'd be an upgrade over Nate. Rose's D would certainly be better, but how many times has Robinson bailed out the helpless offence with long-range shots? That's never been a strength of Rose (although I remember a few game winners from medium- to long range), and I just don't know wether Derrick would mess up the on-court chemistry just a little bit.
Ideally, Rose would be willing to come off the bench, take the minutes usually assigned to Teague/ Cook and get into playoff game shape. This way he might also avoid being guarded by LeBron all the time. Let's see if Allen, Battier and co can keep Rose from penetrating! Once back to his old self, I'm happy for Rose to take over and give those Heat an even bigger scare.
I was actually thinking that Rose and Nate would play together. You cannot sit Nate right now. Let Nate run the offense so you do not disrupt the flow of the offense and take pressure off of Rose to produce.
I agree that they just can't disrupt the chemistry they have, but I would bring Rose off the bench. They are competing with the Heat as it is- add Rose to the second unit and you minimize any disruptions while having a superstar run the second unit. Rose seems to be a good guy and a team player who wouldn't mind coming off the bench for a while.

Durant is simply DISGUSTING. it's really a shame Westbrook got hurt. Watching Durant V. LeBron II with full supporting casts would have been a hell of a lot of fun to watch.
Good to see the Heat decided to play like Thugs tonight. I guess that is the only way they can beat my depleted Bulls.
The refs were among the worst I've ever seen. Battier's three fouls in 5 seconds and subsequent takedown of Noah - no foul. Gibson pushed in the back - travelling call. Clear goaltending by Anderson - no call. James running into Noah with one of the most blatant illegal screens I've ever seen - foul on Noah. Boozer finally receiving a lob pass and converting a layup - offensive foul on Boozer. Butler getting hammered on multiple occasions - nothing.
After a close first quarter, the momentum swing was obviously favoured by the refs. The way the officials suddenly blew the whistle against Miami in garbage time was almost as if they tried to fix the foul stats and make it look as if it had been even. Even if the Heat's shooters had not gotten hot, and even if the Bulls had played better, there is no way Chicago could have won that game.
I now expect Rose to return in game 3 and the refs favouring Chicago. That will make an interesting headline and should generate more revenue for the rest of the series - which Miami will certainly win. WWE at its best!
